‘Qaedat al-Jihad’ claims responsibility for Burgas attack
An Islamist group claimed responsibility for carrying out the Burgas bombing on Wednesday in an email sent Saturday to Elnashra, a Lebanese newspaper.
“One of our units, aided by God, managed to bomb a bus full of Jewish tourists, plunderers of holy lands, after careful tracking,” the group wrote in an email published by Elnashra.
The previously unknown group is a possible affiliate of al-Qaeda, commentators in Israel said Saturday evening, noting its name in Arabic — “Qaedat al-Jihad.”
The email stated: “The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and martyrdom for God. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators.”

Despite yr claims to the contrary, there's nothing out of line or of a fishing excpedition nature in asking someone to clarify what they say, especially when what they say can be taken by any reasonable and intelligent person as being a comment on Muslim and Jewish cultures.
People generally oblige in answering questions because they understand that a discussion forum involves discussion. Maybe you could get ten people together and ask Skinner to create a group where there's a prohibition on anyone being asked anything at all 
My opinion is that it not only makes sense it is 100% spot on.
No matter how uncomfortable that may be .
Ha im ze baroor ?
To me, none at all...
Speaking of psychic, I leave the mindreading to yr attempts to tell me what other DUers are thinking when they post
Alqaeda is "al qaedat-ul jihad". It's the name bin Laden's group took in 2002. The rebranding didn't really take in the US media.
The British underground bombers were al-qaedat al-jihad fi urupu (not sure on the final word's spelling: "In Europe"
. They didn't get named much more than the "underground bombers."
Somalia's AQ is alqaedat al jihad. We just call that AQ. As opposed to AQ in the West (okay, Maghreb).
I'm not being consistent with my transcription. All are "holy war bases". And yes, I translate "jihad" as "holy war."
The point is that all the various qawa'id (pl. of qaeda) are mangled and often skipped in Western media. Most would assume that "qaedat" is different from "qaeda" from "qaida". They should include a guide or footnotes or be more consistent.
The "Ramadan is the month of jihad" rhetoric is also straight out of AQ's Salafist/Deobandi playbook. Pakistan's, too. It was amusing when I was avidly reading the Pak press in the early 2000s when Ramadan would occur. * would say Ramadan was a time of reflection and peace, as did CAIR and other US Muslims. The word from Pakistan was mostly "month of jihad, month of jihad, month of jihad." And they didn't mean "quiet internal reflection," judging by the explosions and shootings and incendiary sermons.
On edit: I suppose it's worth a quibbling mention that Bulgaria is, like Andalusia, one of the lost "lands of Islam." Some hairsplitting Salafist could assert that killing Jews in Bulgaria is just as worthwhile as killing them in Hebron.
